NSC LM94023BITME

LM94023
1.5V, micro SMD, Dual-Gain Analog Temperature Sensor
with Class AB Output
General Description
The LM94023 is a precision analog output CMOS integratedcircuit temperature sensor that operates at a supply voltage
as low as 1.5 Volts. Available in the very small four-bump microSMD 0.8mm x 0.8mm) the LM94023 occupies very little
board area. A class-AB output structure gives the LM94023
strong output source and sink current capability for driving
heavy loads, making it well suited to source the input of a
sample-and-hold analog-to-digital converter with its transient
load requirements, This generally means the LM94023 can
be used without external components, like resistors and
buffers, on the output. While operating over the wide temperature range of −50°C to +150°C, the LM94023 delivers an
output voltage that is inversely porportional to measured temperature. The LM94023's low supply current makes it ideal for
battery-powered systems as well as general temperature
sensing applications.
A Gain Select (GS) pin sets the gain of the temperature-tovoltage output transfer function. Either of two slopes are
selectable: −5.5 mV/°C (GS=0) or −8.2 mV/°C (GS=1). In the
lowest gain configuration, the LM94023 can operate with a
1.5V supply while measuring temperature over the full −50°C
to +150°C operating range. Tying GS high causes the transfer
function to have the largest gain for maximum temperature
sensitivity. The gain-select inputs can be tied directly to VDD
or Ground without any pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing
component count and board area. These inputs can also be
driven by logic signals allowing the system to optimize the
gain during operation or system diagnostics.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds power supplies (VI < GND or VI > V+), the current at that pin should be limited to 5 mA.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 4: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 5: The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is specified without a heat sink in still air.
Note 6: Typicals are at TJ = TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: Accuracy is defined as the error between the measured and reference output voltages, tabulated in the Transfer Table at the specified conditions of
supply gain setting, voltage, and temperature (expressed in °C). Accuracy limits include line regulation within the specified conditions. Accuracy limits do not
include load regulation; they assume no DC load.
Note 9: Changes in output due to self heating can be computed by multiplying the internal dissipation by the thermal resistance.
Note 10: Source currents are flowing out of the LM94023. Sink currents are flowing into the LM94023.
Note 11: Guaranteed by design.
Note 12: The input current is leakage only and is highest at high temperature. It is typically only 0.001µA. The 1µA limit is solely based on a testing limitation and
does not reflect the actual performance of the part.
Note 13: Line regulation (DC) is calculated by subtracting the output voltage at the highest supply voltage from the output voltage at the lowest supply voltage.
The typical DC line regulation specification does not include the output voltage shift discussed in Section 5.0.

sired temperature range from the Table using the two-point
equation:
Where V is in mV, T is in °C, T1 and V1 are the coordinates of
the lowest temperature, T2 and V2 are the coordinates of the
highest temperature.
For example, if we want to determine the equation of a line
with the Gain Setting at GS1 = 0 and GS0 = 0, over a temperature range of 20°C to 50°C, we would proceed as follows:
Although the LM94023 is very linear, its response does have
a slight downward parabolic shape. This shape is very accurately reflected in the LM94023 Transfer Table. For a linear
approximation, a line can easily be calculated over the de-
www.national.com
Using this method of linear approximation, the transfer function can be approximated for one or more temperature ranges
of interest.

For operation in very noisy environments, some bypass capacitance should be present on the supply within approximately 2 inches of the LM94023.
The LM94023 can be applied easily in the same way as other
integrated-circuit temperature sensors. It can be glued or cemented to a surface.
To ensure good thermal conductivity, the backside of the
LM94023 die is directly attached to the GND pin (Pin 2). The
temperatures of the lands and traces to the other leads of the
LM94023 will also affect the temperature reading.
Alternatively, the LM94023 can be mounted inside a sealedend metal tube, and can then be dipped into a bath or screwed
into a threaded hole in a tank. As with any IC, the LM94023
and accompanying wiring and circuits must be kept insulated
and dry, to avoid leakage and corrosion. This is especially true
if the circuit may operate at cold temperatures where condensation can occur. If moisture creates a short circuit from
the output to ground or VDD, the output from the LM94023 will
not be correct. Printed-circuit coatings are often used to ensure that moisture cannot corrode the leads or circuit traces.
The thermal resistance junction to ambient (θJA) is the parameter used to calculate the rise of a device junction temperature due to its power dissipation. The equation used to
calculate the rise in the LM94023's die temperature is
4.0 Capacitive Loads
The LM94023 handles capacitive loading well. In an extremely noisy environment, or when driving a switched sampling
input on an ADC, it may be necessary to add some filtering to
minimize noise coupling. Without any precautions, the
LM94023 can drive a capacitive load less than or equal to
1100 pF as shown in Figure 2. For capacitive loads greater
than 1100 pF, a series resistor may be required on the output,
as shown in Figure 3.

where TA is the ambient temperature, IQ is the quiescent current, ILis the load current on the output, and VO is the output
voltage. For example, in an application where TA = 30 °C,
VDD = 5 V, IDD = 9 μA, Gain Select = 11, VOUT = 2.231 mV,
and IL = 2 μA, the junction temperature would be 30.021 °C,
showing a self-heating error of only 0.021°C. Since the
LM94023's junction temperature is the actual temperature
being measured, care should be taken to minimize the load
current that the LM94023 is required to drive. Figure 1 shows
the thermal resistance of the LM94023.

Considerations
The LM94023 is very linear over temperature and supply voltage range. Due to the intrinsic behavior of an NMOS/PMOS
rail-to-rail buffer, a slight shift in the output can occur when
the supply voltage is ramped over the operating range of the
device. The location of the shift is determined by the relative
levels of VDD and VOUT. The shift typically occurs when
VDD- VOUT = 1.0V.
This slight shift (a few millivolts) takes place over a wide
change (approximately 200 mV) in VDD or VOUT. Since the
shift takes place over a wide temperature change of 5°C to
20°C, VOUT is always monotonic. The accuracy specifications
in the Electrical Characteristics table already include this possible shift.
A push-pull output gives the LM94023 the ability to sink and
source significant current. This is beneficial when, for example, driving dynamic loads like an input stage on an analogto-digital converter (ADC). In these applications the source
current is required to quickly charge the input capacitor of the
ADC. See the Applications Circuits section for more discussion of this topic. The LM94023 is ideal for this and other
applications which require strong source or sink current.
The LM94023's supply-noise gain (the ratio of the AC signal
on VOUT to the AC signal on VDD) was measured during bench
tests. It's typical attenuation is shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. A load capacitor on the output
can help to filter noise.

example, noise coupling on the output line or quantization
noise induced by an analog-to-digital converter which may be
sampling the LM94023 output).
Another application advantage of the digitally selectable gain
is the ability to perform dynamic testing of the LM94023 while
it is running in a system. By toggling the logic levels of the
gain select pin and monitoring the resultant change in the
output voltage level, the host system can verify the functionality of the LM94023.
6.0 Selectable Gain for Optimization
and In Situ Testing
The Gain Select digital inputs can be tied to the rails or can
be driven from digital outputs such as microcontroller GPIO
pins. In low-supply voltage applications, the ability to reduce
the gain to -5.5 mV/°C allows the LM94023 to operate over
the full -50 °C to 150 °C range. When a larger supply voltage
is present, the gain can be increased as high as -8.2 mV/°C.
The larger gain is optimal for reducing the effects of noise (for

Most CMOS ADCs found in microcontrollers and ASICs have a sampled data comparator input structure. When the ADC charges
the sampling cap, it requires instantaneous charge from the output of the analog source such as the LM94023 temperature sensor
and many op amps. This requirement is easily accommodated by the addition of a capacitor (CFILTER). The size of CFILTER depends
on the size of the sampling capacitor and the sampling frequency. Since not all ADCs have identical input stages, the charge
requirements will vary. This general ADC application is shown as an example only.
